I had a K&N Drop-in and X02 true dual exhaust and dynoed at 245hp with my auto.

 

I haven't yet because I don't really see/feel the need to. I don't really worry too much about massive boost during shift.
The only thing I've done is added a much larger transmission cooler. I only did so because I was already in there adding every other damn cooling mod I could.

A valve body upgrade will probably be next, but I'll be increasing the boost more before I get around to the VB. SGP and GTM are offering nice upgrades for the 5At.

 

i have an 06 touring auto and i love it for where i live. its very stop and go where i am so it suited me better to get an auto otherwise id be doing nothing but shifting non stop all day long. but what i have done to my car is the following:

an aem cai but gonna replace it with a jwt popcharger i think.... kinetix plenum, strup headers, helix tp's, hks dual cat back, tokico d spec's, eibach pro kit, spc front and rear camber kit, and aftermarket wheels...18x8.5 & 18x9.5 with +1 tires and its been tuned. shed off a pretty decent amount of weight with carbon fiber... thats what i have done as far as performance mods. looking into a underdrive pulley set as well.

 

all ive got is a the 3.5 gears, and as of now im doing the exterior b/c of some speeding tickets...

 

I'm glad to see there are plenty of other 5AT guys here doing mods. I'm definately looking forward to that paddle shifter mod.

BTW any of you guys know a way to get the damn thing to downshift into 1st gear ABOVE 30 MPH? Does the ECU have to be modded for this? Is there even one out there we can get? My 1st goes up to like 38 MPH and i'd like to be able to use that powerband.

 

Get your ECU reflashed and raise your redline to 7K.

 

And that'll allow me to downshift into 1st below 40 MPH instead of 30?

 

I'd say: if you want to mod an AT, it's your world. Just not as fun imo, but it beats driving a Manual in traffic if it's your DD. Sure glad I have a hoopty to drive daily with.

just not as fun? every mod that you currenty have on your car will do the same thing on a 5AT.


/thread

 

im gonna have to agree with that. unless your tracking a car or doing auto x then i fully understand a manual being the premier choice. but a naturally aspirated Z, stick or auto, will practically do the same thing without extreme engine mods of course.

 

How can someone have 2600+ posts and not know of any AT Z's with mods? What have you been doing here all this time? I claim AT/MT war starter and BAN. Have a nice thread.. late

 

+1 this is just askin for another war

 

If I was auto I would prob. go N20. But Im manual and I went N20.

 

Nobody is asking for any war. We just like showing off our AUTOMATIC Z's.
If you want think that way, well, I'm sorry.

 

^from previous similar posts, it always turns out bad. i too like showing off my 06 enthusiast auto.

you resurrected this dead thread to add a mod list?

 

was gonna say blast from the past! Thinking to myself this looks oddly familiar...

LoL, looks like the payments arn't as much as an issue as they were back then

 

hahahahahahaha

 

auto Z people mod as much as manual z people do.
